CANADIAN FREE TRADE ADVO.
NATRA

We mentioned day or two ago the
remarkable circumstance that a
prominent Ohio Representative in
Congress had presented bill in the
House for the establish ment OF free
trade with Canada. AS the. Canadians
are rrotsctionists, Ike ourselves, 1t is
not without surprise that we find there
are people there who also suggest free
trade as the best and most satisfactory
way OF setting the existing fishery
disputes and bringing permanent
better feeling between the two peo-
PIES The Toron'o (Canada) Mail ex-
presses its conviction that the United
States will insist upon its interpreta-
ton Of the treaty Of 1918. Canada
has a large line Of sea coast,
much Of 1t adjoining our own;
and without a thorough and
we'll defined arrangement disputes
will be continually occurring, with in
evitable cobdict in the end. As the
Canadians have tho impulses and
pride OF a great naion, yet have not
attained 10 the power OF attack
and defense to cary out their am
billions. good policy suggests an AMIGA
BILE and prudent policy toward their
powerful neighbor. England cannot
be expected to enter upon an expen-
sive war, merely TO support claims
urged by what Canadians may regard
as tending to their interest. The
Toronto Mad is therefore OF opinion
shat reciprocal establishment OF free
trade between the Dominion and the
States would be highly adva ntageous
as we'll ns profitable to both. Thus,
urges the Nail, 1T would put an end
TO dispute which has vexed Eve gen
erstionB Of British and American
statesmen, aud which is Of such g
complicated nature that it can be
settled only by war or in the manner
here suggested" This is view OF the
case that is certainly entitled to ma
ture and unbiased consideration. The
future has to be looked forward to, Of
well as the miserable fishing dispute
which has 81 stirred the Ire OF the
Gloucester fishermen. The Dominion
has acted in provoking manner
and although but young, uu
trained, inexperienced cub, Il
has tried to roar like &
foil grown lion before Its teeth are al
